Specialisations & areas of expertise

Tracy Mee is a dedicated Speech Pathologist who brings warmth, compassion, and expertise to her work with autistic and neurodivergent individuals. With a strong focus on supporting children who experience the world and communicate differently, Tracy offers evidence-based assessment and therapy across a broad range of areas—including speech sound development, language and literacy difficulties, fluency (stuttering), voice, auditory processing, and social communication challenges.

​

Tracy understands that for many neurodivergent children, the school experience can be vastly different from that of their neurotypical peers. While some children move easily through social situations, academic tasks, and extracurricular opportunities, others, despite tremendous effort, face daily struggles that can lead to frustration, isolation, and emotional exhaustion. Tracy is committed to creating a safe, affirming space where these children are recognised for their unique strengths, and where therapy supports both communication and confidence.

​

She believes that all children deserve to feel understood, accepted, and valued—not compared or marginalised. Tracy works closely with families to tailor therapy goals to each child’s individual profile, needs, and daily environment, making therapy both practical and meaningful. For her, it’s not just about improving speech or language; it’s about helping children connect, belong, and thrive.

​

Tracy is passionate about neurodiversity and is an advocate for children whose gifts may not be immediately recognised in traditional settings. Her work is deeply rooted in the belief that every child wants the same thing: to be included and to be accepted for who they truly are.
 

Continually engaged in professional development, Tracy ensures her practice remains informed by the latest research and best practices in the field. She is here to walk alongside families, offering support, expertise, and hope as they navigate the challenges and celebrate the progress of their child’s unique journey.
